This sacred experience is designed to complement the transformative effects of the Ayahuasca ceremony, further enhancing the overall retreat experience. The ritual typically lasts several hours, allowing ample time for personal reflection and growth.

Making an offering to the earth, such as coca leaves, flowers, or other symbolic items.
